Dan Hennebry took some great photos of the Prems during their crushing win over Te Rapa.

I'll post them all but in the meantime here's a competition for you.

Look at the photo below and 1.) Name the shot. 2.) Tell us where you think the batsman is expecting the ball to go.

Te Rapa 61
C Vette 5-16

Smack.

The Waikato Times Article is here. Amazingly Cam doesn't get a mention for 30n.o. and 5-16. The who result is credited to bad batting. Bastards!!! Biggles gets a mention for scoring 50.

Division II Result 17th February

Te Rapa 143 (Pieter Geldenhuis 4-36)

StarV 146/4 (Rick 38 n.o., Ido 30 n.o., 'TP' 22)

These guys remain top of the table!!!

Cooch Windgrass Comes Good.

Cooch (aka Cam Vette) scored 30 and then took six-fer as the Prems smashed Te Rapa in their 50-over match.

The Division 1 side fought hard but lost to Old Boys, Rob Brown leading the way with a 75.

The Div 2 side got it going again as they pulverised Te Rapa. The usual suspects getting it done for them.

Short boards to follow later.

Division I Points Table 07/02/06

Old Boys 40
Star 39
Melville 37
HBHS 30
Te Rapa 28
St Pauls
Suburbs
Tech

Interestingly, we play OBs at HBHS this weekend, Melville plays Suburbs, Te Rapa plays Tech, and St Pauls and HBHS slug it out.

So assuming we were able to beat OBs the points table at the start of the second round might look like:

Star 51
Melville 49
Old Boys 40
Te Rapa 40
HBHS 36
St Pauls
Suburbs
Tech

and if we don't....

Old Boys 52
Melville 49
Te Rapa 40
Star 39
HBHS 36
St Pauls
Suburbs
Tech

All to play for lads....

Weekend Result

The weekend can be summed up as follows:

Prems, outright loss despite half centuries to Graeme Billington and Grant Bell (Go the lefties)

Div I, first innings win over St Pauls.

Div II, same old, same old - another hapless team pulverised under their boer boots.....
